Regulation 5 inserts a new regulation 12A into the principal Regulations which provides that the Secretary of State, the Commissioners of Customs and Excise any local authority and the Food Standards Agency may exchange information amongst themselves and share information with the enforcement authorities in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Regulation 6 makes a minor drafting change to regulation 13 of the principal Regulations. Regulation 7 substitutes a new regulation for regulation 16 of the principal Regulations. The new regulation 16 provides that the prohibition on the introduction into England of products of animal origin (except at border inspection posts) is enforced at points of entry by the Commissioners instead of the local authority.
